MinneWIC

What:  MinneWIC is the first regional celebration of Women in Computing in the upper midwest. We have chosen to call it MinneWIC from the native american word "Minne" that means water.

This regional meeting, modeled after the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, will bring together students, faculty, and technology leaders from across Minnesota and neighboring states to discuss the role of women in today's computing and technology fields, share experiences and strategies for success, and explore issues common to women working in these fields. Specifically, the goal is to provide an opportunity for young women to explore opportunities in computing, to network with other women from academia, industry and government, and to create friendship among women in the region who share the same interest and passion for computing. This celebration is part of a nationwide effort to address the alarming decline of women choosing computer science professions.

When:  4 pm Friday, February 12 - 5 pm Saturday, February 13,2010

Where:  Electrical and Computer Science Engineering Building, University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus, Overnight lodging available at the Days Inn.

Registration Deadline is January 15th!
